Mary is thinking of a mystery number. She reduces it by 15% then subtracts 5. The result is 29. Determine the mystery number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mystery number.

Create an equation to represent the situation, then solve for x:

0.85x - 5 = 29

0.85x = 34

x = 40

So, the mystery number is 40.

Prove the following identities : i) tan a + cot a = cosec a sec a​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\tan \alpha + \cot\alpha = \dfrac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} +\dfrac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\sin^2\alpha + \cos^2\alpha}{\sin\alpha\cos\alpha}=\dfrac{1}{\sin\alpha\cos\alpha}[/tex]

[tex]=\left(\dfrac{1}{\sin\alpha}\right)\!\left(\dfrac{1}{\cos\alpha}\right)=\csc \alpha \sec\alpha[/tex]

Question :

tan alpha + cot Alpha = cosec alpha. sec alpha

Required solution :

Here we would be considering L.H.S. and solving.

Identities as we know that,

By using the identities we gets,

[tex]: \: \implies \: \sf{ \dfrac{sin {}^{2} \: \alpha \: + \: cos {}^{2} \alpha}{cos \: \alpha \: sin \alpha} } [/tex]

Bob's truck averages 23 miles per gallon. If Bob is driving to his mother's house, 72 miles away, how many gallons of gas are needed? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

3.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to figure out how many gallons of gas go into 72 miles. We know 23 miles is equal to one gallon of gas, and given that the ratio of miles to gas stays the same, we can say that

miles of gas / gallons = miles of gas / gallons

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles / gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house

If we write the gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house as g, we can say

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles/g

multiply both sides by 1 gallon to remove a denominator

23 miles = 72 miles * 1 gallon /g

multiply both sides by g to remove the other denominator

23 miles * g = 72 miles * 1 gallon

divide both sides by 23 miles to isolate the g

g = 72 miles * 1 gallon/23 miles

= 72 / 23 gallons

≈ 3.1 gallons

An isosceles trapezoid has a consecutive-sides of length: 10,6,10 and 14. Find the measure of each angle if the trapezoid.

Answers

Answer:

Angle A = Angle D = 69° 30'

Angle B = Angle C = 110° 30'

Step-by-step explanation:

     B ___ C

    /              \

  /                  \

A ________ D

AB and CD are 10

BC is 6

AD is 14

If we divide the trapezoid, we can imagine a line.

     B_ F_C

    /      |      \

  /        |         \

A ___E____ D

AE = ED = 7 (14/2)

BF = FC = 3

So now, we draw another line from B or C to AE or ED

     B_ F_ C

    /      |     | \

  /        |     |    \

A ___E_ G_ D

EG = GD = 3.5 (7/2)

There is a right triangle now, GCD

GD is 3.5 and CD is 10. To determine angle D, we can apply trigonometric function:

CD is H, and GD is A

cos D = A/H

cos D = 3.5/10 → 0.35

angle D = 69° 30'

By theory, we know that angle D and angle A, are the same so:

Angle D = Angle A = 69° 30'

Angle B = Angle C

We also make a cuadrilateral, which is EFCD.

Angle D is 69° 30', Angle E is 90°, Angle F is also 90°

Sum of angles in cuadrilateral is 360°

360° - 69° 30' - 90° - 90° = Angle C = Angle B

Angle C = Angle B = 110° 30'

Let's confirm the angles in the trapezoid:

69° 30' + 110° 30' + 69° 30' + 110° 30' = 360°

A + B + C + D

4. The equation of a curve is y = (3 - 2x)^3 + 24x.

5. The equation of a curve is y = 54x - (2x - 7)^3.
(a) Find dy/dx​

Answers

(4) y = (3 - 2x)³ + 24x

Use the power and chain rules:

dy/dx = 3 (3 - 2x)² d/dx [3 - 2x] + 24

dy/dx = 3 (3 - 2x)² (-2) + 24

dy/dx = -24x ² + 72x - 30

(5) y = 54x - (2x - 7)³

Same basic procedure:

dy/dx = 54 - 3 (2x - 7)² d/dx [2x - 7]

dy/dx = 54 - 3 (2x - 7)² (2)

dy/dx = -24x ² + 168x - 240

a triangle has sides of 6 m 8 m and 11 m is it a right-angled triangle?​

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use the Pythagorean theorem, we can find if it is a right triangle. To do that, set up an equation.

[tex]6^{2}+8^{2}=c^2[/tex]

If the triangle is a right triangle, c would equal 11

Solve.

[tex]36+64=100[/tex]

Then find the square root of 100.

The square root of 100 is 10, not 11.

So this is not a right triangle.

What is the chance of getting 3 of the same cards in a row in a 52 cards deck?

Answers

Answer:

1/425

Step-by-step explanation:

The first card can be any card, so we don’t have to evaluate the probability.

Now we can suppose that the exit card is a two

- For the second card we have 3/51 of possibilities that is a 2 = 1/17

- For the third card we have 2/50 of possibilities that is a 2 = 1/25

1/17 * 1/25 = 1/425

A. X= -7
B. X = -2
C. X = 2

Answers

Answer:

2 = x          -7 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 7)

y  = (x - 2)(x + 7)

Set y = 0

0 = (x - 2)(x + 7)

Using the zero product property

0 = x-2    0 = x+7

2 = x          -7 = x

Answer:

Zeros happen when f(x) = 0. There are two zeros in the given function:

when (x - 2) = 0when (x + 7) = 0

Therefore solve both equations above and you'll get:

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing we can do is to make everything in the same format, under one square root, with no non-square roots.

First, we can say that 6 is equal to √36 as 6² =36, and 6 ≥ 0. Therefore, 6√3 = √36 * √3 = √108

For A, √3 * √36 = √108, so this applies

For B, √18 * √6 = √108, so this applies

For C, 108² = √something bigger than 108 = √11664, so this does not apply

For D, √54 ≠ √108, so this does not apply

For E, √108 = √108, so this applies

For F, √3 * √6 = √18, so this does not apply

Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 191 people. Initially, only 38 members of the group have heard the rumor, but 3 days later 68 people have heard it. Using a logistic growth model, how many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread? (Round your answer to the nearest whole person.)

Answers

Answer:

106 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logistic equation:

The logistic equation is given by:

[tex]P(t) = \frac{K}{1+Ae^{-kt}}[/tex]

In which

[tex]A = \frac{K - P_0}{P_0}[/tex]

K is the carrying capacity, k is the growth/decay rate, t is the time and P_0 is the initial value.

Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 191 people. Initially, only 38 members of the group have heard the rumor.

This means that [tex]K = 191, P_0 = 38[/tex], so:

[tex]A = \frac{191 - 38}{38} = 4.03[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-kt}}[/tex]

3 days later 68 people have heard it.

This means that [tex]P(3) = 68[/tex]. We use this to find k.

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-kt}}[/tex]

[tex]68 = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-3k}}[/tex]

[tex]68 + 274.04e^{-3k} = 191[/tex]

[tex]e^{-3k} = \frac{191-68}{274.04}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-3k} = 0.4484[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-3k}} = \ln{0.4484}[/tex]

[tex]-3k = \ln{0.4484}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.4484}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.2674[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-0.2674t}}[/tex]

How many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread?

This is P(6). So

[tex]P(6) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-0.2674*6}} = 105.52[/tex]

To find:

The exponential equations that is equivalent to the given logarithmic equation.

Solution:

Property of logarithm:

If [tex]\log_b a=x[/tex], then [tex]a=b^x[/tex]

We know that the base log is always 10 if it is not mentioned.

If [tex]\log a=x[/tex], then [tex]a=10^x[/tex]

We have,

[tex]\log 970=x[/tex]

Here, base is 10 and the value of a is 970. By using the properties of exponents, we get

[tex]970=10^x[/tex]

Interchange the sides, we get

[tex]10^x=970[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B, i.e., [tex]10^x=970[/tex].

3.564 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the original garden is

A = 5.4 * 1.5 = 8.1

The new garden is

5.4*1.2 = 6.48 by 1.5*1.2 =1.8

The area is

A = 6.48*1.8=11.664

The increase in area is

11.664-8.1=3.564

The given information is,

To find the increase in area of the garden.

Formula we use,

→ Area = Length × Width

Area of the real garden is,

→ 5.4 × 1.5

→ 8.1 m

The new garden will be,

→ 5.4 × 1.2 = 6.48 m

→ 1.5 × 1.2 = 1.8 m

The area of the new garden is,

→ 6.48 × 1.8

→ 11.664

Then the increase in area of the garden,

→ 11.664 - 8.1

→ 3.564 m²

Hence, 3.564 m² is the increase in area.
